PRICE-TAG.

' SPEGIFIQATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 690,404, dated January '7, 1902 Application filed June '7, 1899. Serial No. 719,647. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, SIMON DANCYGER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Price-Tags; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to. make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and numerals of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in price-tags; and it consists of a paper card to which is attached a wire for the support of the same on textile fabrics or on the sides of boxes containing merchandise.

The object is the construction of a pricetag which can be conveniently attached to articles of merchandise.

The construction is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a front view of the device. Fig. 2 is a side view with a central longitudinal section of the card. Fig. 3 is a back view of the same.

Like letters and numerals designate like parts in the several views.

The card A is of a firm tough paper and may have any desirable form, and 011 which is printed or written a number indicating the value of the article to which it is attached in dollars and cents. The engaging wire B is first formed as a staple. The legs 2 and 3 are made to penetrate the card near one edge and the two ends bent to a plane parallel with the face of the card, the former end lying firmly against the surface of the card, and the latter bent down near to said card and the pointed shaft extending a distance beyond the edge of the card, and adapted to penetrate a textile fabric. The leg 3 may be formed as shown at Fig. 2, and as thus constructed the tag may be placed over the edge of a box, said edge occupying the space between the leg and the card. The only part of the engaging wire exposed on the front of the tag is the part 1, lying firmly against the same.

In use the price is marked on the card, and the card is then attached to the side of a box or made to penetrate an article of merchansaid clasp instead of projecting upward, as

shown.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim is' As an improved article of manufacture the price-tag comprising the card and the engaging wire consisting of the body 1, the legs 2 and 3 engaging said card and the leg 3 extending beyond the edge of the same and curved outwardly from its intersection with said card, and thereby adapted to embrace the side of paper boxes, substantially as described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I aftix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
